Case Study: Gould Evans achieves more than $185,000 in savings and streamlined project and financial operations with Deltek Vision

Architecture & Design firm realizing “Vision” of savings

Gould Evans is a Kansas City–based architecture, interior and landscape design firm with 200+ employees across 12 U.S. offices. After relying on the legacy SEMA4 system for over a decade, a failing internal client database in 2003 prompted the firm to seek a more project-focused, marketing-capable accounting solution with better flexibility and reporting.

Gould Evans implemented a 250-seat Deltek Vision system in August 2004, gaining faster support, automated workflows and web-based reporting. Within 10 months the firm identified more than $185,000 in gains across 10 areas—most recurring—by eliminating manual tasks, streamlining HR and financial processes, removing one project manager role, and giving project teams direct access to reports.
